About
Budweiser is one of the world's most iconic beer brands, known as the "King of Beers," manufactured by Anheuser-Busch InBev (AB InBev). Founded in 1876 by Adolphus Busch in St. Louis, Missouri, Budweiser became the quintessential American lager through early adoption of pasteurization and refrigerated railcar distribution, combined with legendary advertising including the Budweiser Clydesdales, "Bud-weis-er" frogs, and "Wassup" campaigns. AB InBev acquired Anheuser-Busch in 2008 for $52 billion.
Constellation Brands (NYSE: STZ) distributed Mexican lager; US #1 imported beer for 30+ years with lime ritual competing with Heineken and Modelo Especial as Corona's sibling brand in premium import segment.
About
Corona Extra is Grupo Modelo's (part of AB InBev, NYSE: BUD) flagship premium Mexican lager — the world's #5 best-selling beer brand by global volume and the US's #1 imported beer for 30+ consecutive years — recognized globally for its clear glass long-neck bottle, lime-in-bottle serving ritual, and aspirational beach lifestyle marketing positioning. AB InBev acquired Grupo Modelo (Corona's parent) in 2013 for $20.1 billion; in the US market, Constellation Brands (NYSE: STZ) holds the perpetual exclusive US distribution rights for Corona and Modelo brands acquired as a condition of the AB InBev/Modelo merger, generating approximately $6.5 billion in US corona and Modelo brand revenue for Constellation.
